Sarcophagus with Lambs Approaching a Chi-Rho in a Wreath
Garden of the Museo Nazionale, Ravenna, Italy
The left acroterium has an image, now unrecognizable, in a shield-shaped frame; the right one has a scallop shell. On the case, fluted columns frame a scene of sheep approaching Christ symbolized by the chi-rho and alpha-omega in a wreath. A blossom is sculpted above each sheep.
View in full resolution the frontal, the left end, and the right end.
